Webber: “Put McLaren in its place”

Since the start of the season, Red Bull Racing is having all the trouble in the world getting its SREC to work. Mark Webber has also paid the price several times since the start of the season, particularly at the start.

The Australian hopes for rapid reliability of a system that he considers essential this season. With three weeks of downtime, the team plans to work hard on this system. “SREC is at the top of our to-do list, underlines the Red Bull driver. He continued to cause us problems in China. This is a key element this year and our system is not yet completely ready. We didn't use it in 2009 and need to catch up on McLaren et Ferrari »

The benefit of such a system would allow the RB7 to further establish its domination, undermined last Sunday by Lewis Hamilton. “The 80 horsepower boost for 6??6 gives you an advantage of 0??3 to 0??5 per lap depending on the circuit. If we can get a reliable system in time for Istanbul, we will use it with confidence. The RB7 is already a good car and we will look to put McLaren in its place after Lewis Hamilton's victory in China. »
